Really tasty food. Great service. Beautiful presentation. The place needs a bit of a touch up with painting and decoration. But definitely would love to return.
Superb food, the most authentic Japanese in Hobart. Great choice! The Pork Gyoza dumplings were to die for! Simply the best quality sushi rice and the Rin Benton Box mmmmmmmm
Leaves others in its wake!!!!
I’m Japanese and have had a lot of sashimi from cheap to a bit expensive in Japan and learned how to pretreat and cut fish to sashimi, so I exactly know the freshness of raw fish. I had 12 pcs salmon, scallop and octopus sashimi, Karaage teishoku and Japanese green tea ( Genmai cha, which is Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice). I honestly recommend this restaurant due to pretreated fresh sashimi and real homemade-ish Japanese Karaage.
I ate sashimi at another restaurant also but, this is the best quality and served with a special soy source called sashimi soy source and wasabi paste. The sashimi, especially octopus was well seasoned.
Also, Karaage was chicken legs as same as a real Japanese style instead of breasts. Here, Australian restaurants usually use chicken breasts with overcooked with no pretreating, this is why the taste is dried out.
Lastly, Genmai cha is also a real Japanese taste. We don't need to pay for it in Japan, though. But it took me back.
If you want to try fresh raw fish in a Tasmanian restaurant, I recommend this.
Good, unpretentious Japanese food. Excellent service and sensible portions. Super fresh salmon sashimi and excellent bento. We’ll be back.
Really authentic Japanese lunch brought to you with a smile. It was just a quick lunch today but I was impressed. Well deserved 4 stars and look forward to checking out dinner.
Ordered some sashimi, miso soup, ikura
This review only based on the food I ordered and the situation.
Sashimi is fresh. but either the scallops or octopus is frozen or just washed recently since there is a bit water left in the plate.
Salmon roe taste good and i have no complain about it
Japanese Green Tea taste great
the only disappointment i have is the Miso soup.
It has the greate taste but only have spring onion and the miso inside. I expect it has a tofu or a seaweed rather than just plain soup.
So overall its quiet nice thus i gave this score
Authentic ambience and westernised taste. The chef and waiters spoke Japanese. I could not observe leveraging local Tasmanian produce. Shoyu ramen broth was way too sweet, however the noodles were excellent in texture. Chirashi rice was over cooked with a mere two pieces of sashimi. Overall both were good for the price.

made lunch reservation. seated quickly and allowed to split bill. food was delicious and fresh. i ordered 3 types of nigiri and was very pleased with them all. colleagues ordered bento, ramen, and sushi roll and everyone very impressed with quality and tastiness.
Very nice staff. Greeted and seated promptly. Staff helped out us with high chair as well.
Ordered miso ramen, which the soup taste ok. A bit bland, could be thicker and more flavorful.
Beef teriyaki don was beautiful. Delicious. It was gone in a while.
Beef tataki don. Beef was seared just right with delicious sauce and wasabi that comes with it.
Sake oyako don. Very nice dish. The egg taste very nice. And the wasabi was just beautiful.
It was not expensive as well.
Best Japanese Dish ever in Hobart!Local Japanese dinning environmental and delicious foods. Lovey spoon. ...sashimi is totally fresh,, however, the miso soup is too salty for me
Delicious food here. Miso Soup was the best one i have had in a long time. I also ordered the marinated beef Don, lots of delicious flavour and a plenty of food. Friendly Service, well priced.
I was unsure what to expect after reading the most reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The tempura udon had a nice flavoured broth with crispy tempura which had a generous filling. Lots of places these days tend to go overboard with the batter and you can't even taste what's inside. This is not the case at Rin. Would recommend it!
Delish bento!
- We ordered sashimi pack (12pcs) but it would be better if we order bigger pack as this is kinda not enough for two. Sashimi includes salmon, 2 pcs of octopus, 2pcs of scallops as in the picture. There is no red ginger going with.
- entre bento was totally full with edamame (beans) (they have grounded salt on top so abit salty for me but my friend loves it), takoyaki and seaweed salad (sour tasty to balance other oily dishes). Love the seaweed most!
- another bento had fried chicken (we think so), vego tempura (fried vego) and some pcs sushi (tamago, combined sushi and prawn). The fried chicken was too much flour outside. The tempura was sticked together (maybe because it was too hot after fried and not dry the oil after enough).
Both of bento came with two soup, such a big plus! One miso soup and one soba noodle soup! The best soup ever!
Overall, the experience was great as we love the salad most, but next time we should order the tempura separately.
Great. The best Japanese restaurant in Tasmania so far with my experience. Enjoyed whole time whilst having dinner, just struggled so much choosing the menu so ended up making an order with multiple dishes and pigged out.
Highly recommended.
Authentic Japanese, staff are super polite and friendly. Reminds me of dining in Japan. Exceptional quality!
Amazing, delicious food in a non-pretentious setting. Super fresh, and very generous serving sizes.
Book ahead because it’s very popular. Our favourite Japanese place in Hobart. The specials are very worthwhile.
Went here last week and would definitely recommend! The food was delicious and the staff were so kind.
Delicious meals - some of the best Japanese I’ve had! Staff were all absolutely lovely as well - went out of their way to make sure everything was vegetarian/ vegan. 10/10 would love to come here again!!
Ordered Chicken Bento Box and Ramen set with some Assorted Sashimi.
It was great and reasonable price.
Will defintely visit again and try some other stuff
